Unit 240 is a 2002 John Deere 624H four-wheel-drive articulated loader used by DPW - Operations Division. Unit 240 is used for various loading, earth moving, backfilling, tree/brush lifting/removal and street and sewer repairs. This equipment is also used as part of the leaf collection and snow removal programs. Replacing this piece of equipment reduces the amount of downtime and lowers operational costs.
